Acts 18:1-11
Key thought: Divine assurance and the understanding that God has work for us to do can help us rise above setbacks to keep pushing God's work and our life assignment.

1.Don't lose touch on the main thing
In this case the preaching of the gospel 

2.Watch out for open doors
Paul has not abandoned his calling but he has shifted his scope of influence 

3. Look to the Lord for encouragement 
The reality of life is that there is opposition to any progress 

Conclusion 
There is work to do, so don't give up
